Materials and Tools* Flooring molding
* Miter saw
* Measuring tape
* Pencil
* Adhesive
* Nail gun
* Nails
* Wood filler
* Caulk gun
* Caulk

Step 1: Measure and Mark* Determine the length of molding needed to cover the perimeter of the room.
* Measure and mark the starting point on the molding.
* Transfer the measurements to the cutting guide of the miter saw.

Step 2: Cut the Molding* Set the miter saw to a 45-degree angle.
* Align the molding with the cutting guide and secure it in place.
* Hold the molding firmly and slowly lower it onto the saw blade.
* Repeat the process to cut the next piece of molding at a 45-degree angle to create the miter joint.

Step 3: Dry Fit the Molding* Place the cut molding pieces into position around the perimeter of the room, starting at the starting point you marked earlier.
* Ensure that the miter joints align properly and that the molding fits snugly against both the wall and the flooring.
* Make any necessary adjustments to the cuts or position of the molding.

Step 4: Apply Adhesive* Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the molding, along the edge that will contact the wall and the flooring.
* Use a notched trowel to distribute the adhesive evenly.

Step 5: Install the Molding* Position the molding in place and press it firmly against the wall and the flooring, aligning the miter joints.
* Use a nail gun to secure the molding with nails, spacing them approximately 6-8 inches apart.

Step 6: Fill and Caulk* Fill any gaps or nail holes with wood filler.
* Allow the wood filler to dry completely.
* Apply a thin bead of caulk along the joints between the molding and the wall or flooring, using a caulk gun.

Step 7: Trim Excess Caulk* After the caulk has set for about 15 minutes, use a damp sponge or a putty knife to carefully trim away any excess caulk.

Tips for Success* Use high-quality flooring molding that is resistant to moisture and wear.
* Ensure that the miter saw is properly calibrated to cut accurate 45-degree angles.
* Dry fit the molding before applying adhesive to identify and correct any potential issues.
* Apply adhesive sparingly to avoid any seepage into the joints.
* Use a nail gun to secure the molding firmly, but avoid excessive nailing that could split the molding.
* Allow the wood filler and caulk to dry completely before trimming away any excess.
